If so is it way overpriced? Has anyone done it and had success?

I don't see why not. I went to Corel Centre (I refuse to call it the name of that bank like a corporate shill) last week and bought tickets on game day. As for the pricing, go to the Canucks website and find out.
LITY, ScotiaBank has decided to put their name on a theatre in Toronto for further advertising and shoving their name in front of my eyes some more; even when I'm just trying to enjoy catching a flick. Much like all major banks in Canada (I'm not sure what it's like down in the states), they tend to sucker people in with convenience (TD), gift cards (Royal Bank), and saying that other banks investments are crap (Scotia). Yes, I know you exist, ScotiaBank, and I'm very happy with my current bank (PC, if anyone's interested) because they don't steal money from me hidden as "additional service fees." Scotia's bigger than Corel, and they rip people off. I will admit that I'm not sure how Corel does things to the average joe seeing how they don't have much influence in Toronto.
If it's legally called "Ottawa Palladium," I think I'll start calling it that. I'll remember every time I drive through the intersection of Palladium and Cyclone Taylor. LOVE that street name!

You can go to GM place on game day, and try to get tickets. Most games are sold out though, although there may be some single tickets available. Hovering all around GM place before games are tons of scalpers, all willing to sell their tickets for all sorts of quality of seats. Depending on the opponent and depending on how long before opening faceoff, it may or may not be overpriced. Calgary, Toronto etc will be expensive. Phoenix will be cheap.

Try stubhub.com or e-bay. I have had great success (even cheaper than normal) with e-bay buying tickets. Just plan in advance, don't try to buy the week of because buyers run up the bids. Another cool source for face value tickets is craigslist.net. Good luck!

You can walk up to any NHL arena and get tickets right up to the start of the game... just be prepared to pay what the scalpers are asking...

I fail to understand your issues here
You'll call it 'Corel Centre' but you won't call it 'Scotiabank Place'
The only reason it is called Scotiabank Place is because Corel bounced their naming rights payment (which was more than BNS is paying now).
Just doesn't make sense to me why one corporation is alright in your eyes, but another isn't.
The Ottawa Palladium is the legal name of the building if you must know.
